I've been spending all these years holding my tongue because as a matter of principal I don't write anything I don't want a permanent record of and it would be nice to see all that overhead pay off or more accurately, it would be nice to see people get burned for being sloppy. So no, I wouldn't really stand to lose anything if everything I ever said on company chat was published in an easily searchable format online.

Maybe you don't have a problem, but this article isn't about one person with extreme discipline. 2) There's no way to know now what you'd want to be private in the future. For example, let's say you're gay and mention your boyfriend casually in a Slack chat. Then your country outlaws homosexuality. Suddenly, a casual detail becomes a secret you're terrified of getting out. You can apply this analogy to your religious beliefs, traveling to certain countries, or even reading certain websites. You just don't know what the public or your govt will find unacceptable in the future.
